I was worried I'd missed a year of my life.
Did Federer win?

I watched the Bartoli/Henin thing and thoroughly enjoyed it! I dislike Henin for some reason. I think it's the hat. The French woman was so weird and pudgy I started off meh towards her but then was like "Go weirdo! GO!" and go she did! YESSS!

Its good to not have the same old faces in the final every year , so i was glad for Bartoli , especially after it looked like she'd be humiliated but Henins won the other 3 big ones so should complete the set she's always reminded me of Juninho .  Mcenroe said Bartoli could get in better shape cheeky git he didnt sound mean though , just matter of fact about her future progress I think its Peter Colt's year in the mens . |

HA. I watched the Venus/Bartoli thing. I really rather liked that Bartoli especially when she did the Mexican wave with the crowd and laughed at whatever that guy shouted out. Shame she didn't win. I love an underdog. I've been a great fan of Murray/Jankovic in the doubles and they're through to the semi's so yay. They're so in love - news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/6280592.stmAlso, Gasquet is handsome indeed |

They should make the womens final best of 5 to make it feel more arduous , its a shame when Bartoli could have grown into the big final atmosphere rather than being a set away from death before she can setlle into it . she should tell him to break into the top 800 in the world before giving her a two cheek kiss Nadal's energy will hopefully be conserved for tomorrows final after Djorkovic retired injured |

YESSSSS! Murray/Jankovic are in the finals! it's the feelgood story of the summer! I've been rooting for them since the quarter finals, nevermind the centre court crowd bandwagon people! She gave him a double cheek kiss too |
